Thursday, July 27, 1967: Tigers 11, Baltimore 1

Baltimore, MD- The Tigers had 26 plate appearances with runners in scoring position, were hit by pitches four times and were the beneficiaries of four errors in routing the Baltimore Orioles, 11-1.

Eight of the 11 runs the Tigers scored were unearned.

Dick McAuliffe, Bill Freehan, Norm Cash and Gates Brown were all hit by pitches.

Freehan had three hits and four RBI as Detroit (52-42) won their second straight.

Denny McLain (8-8) got the win, going eight innings, scattering seven hits.

Despite going 4-for-20 with men in scoring position, the Tigers managed 11 runs, thanks in large part to four Orioles errors.

McAuliffe tied a franchise record with seven plate appearances in a nine-inning game. He was 0-for-4 with a hit by pitch and two walks.

Norm Cash (15) had a two-run homer to cap a four-run seventh inning.
